So I ended up buying an apartment I didn't like in the same building as my kids, like with a different entrance so I could be near them. But I was home alone. I got a dog. That was Babar. We call him Babar, not the elephant. He's a black Labradoodle. He was supposed to be a mini, but he's not as mini. But I got him at six weeks old and he would keep me company. And I started meditating.
